Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

This article was co-authored with Emma Myer, a student at Washington and Lee University who studies Cognitive/Behavioral Science and Strategic Communication. In today’s digital age, social media has ...

JHU mathematician Emily Riehl explains how a surprising amount of math goes into determining who ends up in the U.S. House of ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Lottery tickets purchased repeatedly in the same small Texas town led to four separate wins and nearly $21 million in total payouts. State officials verified each claim, but the streak stood out ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

The numbers did not compute. Even before Terry Rozier dropped out of the 2023 NBA game in which he's accused of rigging his statistics, computers at an "integrity monitor" firm flagged a flood of bets ...

Abstract: A background calibration technique with fast convergence speed for timing skew in time-interleaved (TI) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is proposed in this brief. The proposed method ...
